We often joke that every day is “Throwback Thursday” when you work for a living history museum. But today, we thought we’d take it to the next level. Our costumed interpreters dug deep into their boxes of pictures and photo albums (because let’s be honest, digital pics haven’t been around that long!), and sent us some of their favorite childhood pics.
What do you think? Have these ladies and gentlemen changed much over the years? Who did you recognize right away?

Great fun_Bill Barker’s infectious smile gave him away!
Adam was easy since we have followed his involvement for many years(playing drums and singing alongside Richard Josey.
Thanks for the smile today, CW!
Thank you ! But, I must say, I feel the more ancient since mine is the only one in black and white.
I really had fun scrolling through this blog.
